IPPR have just published Thursday’s Child, a research/policy document on where they think education should be going. One of the issues they discuss is social and emotional wellbeing, it contains this paragraph:
Wellbeing in the classroom
The school environment is the most important school-level component of the emotional and social wellbeing of pupils and teachers. Classroom environments that foster warm, personal relationships and strong bonds between teachers and learners best promote social and emotional wellbeing. There needs to be a greater focus in ITT and CPD on how to promote these classroom environments and facilitate social and emotional learning; for example, how to use group dynamics effectively in classrooms. Teachers should also receive training on how to pick up issues as soon as they arise.
